Developer description

Librato provides a cloud-based service for devops, development and operations teams, allowing you to monitor and understand the metrics that impact your business at all levels of the stack. We provide everything you need to visualize, analyze, and actively alert on the metrics that matter to you. With Librato you can bring all of your monitoring data together in a unified hosted environment, helping you to detect signs of problems early, minimize their impact, and quickly find and fix their root cause.

There is nothing to install; you can send us your data in the way that works best for you and in any resolution up to 5 seconds. We support dozens of collection and monitoring agents, language bindings, and command line tools and can handle every kind and any amount of data, because insight often comes from unexpected sources. You’re not limited by a set of predeﬁned metrics, and you're free to change what metrics you track anytime. We store your data redundantly for one year. We scale on demand. We thrive on big data.

We can transform and aggregate data in real time to give you the metrics you need to get the best possible insight. Metrics can be correlated with other metrics and annotated with one-time events (such as deploys) in custom instruments. Instruments can be combined in beautiful dashboards for display on any screen, from an iPad to a wall-mounted display. Instruments and dashboards are updated in real time, so you can quickly spot spikes, shifts, opportunities, or performance issues, and our intelligent alerting allows minimum/maximum thresholds to be set on any metric and seamlessly integrates with 3rd party services such as PagerDuty, OpsGenie, Email, and custom WebHooks.

Chart snapshots make it easy to collaborate with others in your team using existing collaboration environments such as Campfire and HipChat, and shared dashboards make it possible to provide your entire organization with visibility into the data collected.

Since Metrics was developed from the ground up as a platform with an “API’s first” approach, you can also embed it in your SaaS or PaaS product to let your customers monitor their use of your services and possibly some of their own metrics.
